PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION.
The following Sermons, originally published by me, in the year 1862, have long been out of print. Since that time the practice of opening our Churches daily for prayer has become so common that it may seem needless to urge arguments in its favour. But as I have often, of late, been asked for copies by clergymen and others, who have thought they would be useful in their parishes, I now re-publish them in the hope that, by the blessing of God, they may still do some service in removing prejudices against Divine Service, and in recommending that ancient and very valuable form of Christian devotion to all Members of our Church.

Hagley Rectory, June, 1879.
